Whatsnew. (most important improvements)
4.0
+ Small fixes
+ cwsdpmi.exe not needed from now
+ ITE8212 IDE controlled added
+ CX now show average latency (seek+read one sector)
+ erase: speed increased up to 50mb/sec and even more
when used on controllers which support UDMA by BIOS
+ erase: current speed display
+ SiS IDE controllers added
+ SMART: RAW-values fixed
+ Promise controllers detection fixed
3.9
+ Range Check error when selecting a drive fixed
+ Fixed Serial ATA conrollers detection (Via and SiI)
+ Intel ICH5 Native Mode detection fixed
+ CRITICAL: FF/TOF procedures fixed. Data was written into
wrong place on LBA48 drives
+ CRITICAL: fixed a bug when MHDD locks the drive when launching
+ CX now make SEEK+READ instead of just Seek
+ AAM now make SEEK+READ too
+ Scan: logging fixed
+ Timer functions has been completely rewritten
+ Scan: Timings changed to make better picture on latest drives
+ MHDD requires Pentium from now
+ CRITICAL: great speed improve on ERASE, FF, TOF and READ
procedures
+ BIOS support added. Erase now will go via bios if the drive
correctly detected by BIOS. You can switch this off by
/DISABLEBIOS command line parameter
+ PWD, UNLOCK, DISPWD procedures fixed
(just cosmetics and reporting)
3.8

+ Fixed bugs running on systems with HPT controllers
+ Fixed PCI module (several errors which fails mhdd)
+ Makebad/Randombad commands are back
+ Several checks added to improve stability
+ SCAN: Timeouts logging fixed
3.6
+ PCI bus scanning: several changes to improve detection of PCI cards
+ Registers "sticking" fixed :-)
+ ERASE: fixed small bug
+ SCAN: logging improved (statistics added)
+ SCAN: current/max lba numbers are "formatted" now
+ Optimized output somewhere and also optimized some procedures
3.5.2
+ Some insignificant fixes in SCAN procedure
+ CLRMBR command added (clears MBR)
It backups MBR into two places: file LBA0.MBR and LBA 1 on your drive
before erasing.
3.4
+ Timer improved (10 times more precise now)
+ /RO key added to prevent MHDD to try to save any file
+ TOF and READ: changed algorithm of detecting error LBA number
+ VIA IDE controllers recognition fixed
3.3
+ Intel ICH5/6 Native Mode SATA controller support added.
- Slave devices have been disabled.
+ New command line parameter: /ENABLEPRIMARY
+ VIA VT6420/6410/RAID controllers added.

+ Program activation added to be sure that user have read the

+ Smart attribute names updated.
+ TOF procedure rewritten, now skips bad blocks, makes detailed

+ EraseWaits counter.
+ More precise logging (using flush procedure now to add to
